When asked about the key things she learned from the year 2021, the model replied saying, "I've been reminded that when we get time with people, just really appreciate it and take it all in and try not to wish away moments. Even if there's something hard, find something beautiful in it." 

The 26-year-old supermodel also spoke about her daughter Khai and said, "She's just so smart, and she's so aware. She watches everything, she's always learning, she's always looking. She's just awesome. And I'm trying to learn still, being a mom and letting myself rest."

Gigi Hadid's mom Yolanda Hadid claimed that Zayn Malik struck her and abused her while she was trying to meet her granddaughter. Yolanda even filed a police complaint to which the singer pleaded not guilty. Zayn took to his Twitter handle and shared a statement about the incident and wrote, "As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter to grow up in. A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart. This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been ‘leaked’ to the press."
